Kaboul, cité interdite
Kabul -a month before the terrorist attacks in New York. Two French journalists carrying hidden cameras set off to film the forbidden city: a city where it is forbidden to film or photograph human beings. The journalists managed to film official Kabul: the Kabul of ministries and the more clandestine world of hospitals and schools for young girls in a country where women haven’t the right to nurse, work, touch a man or study. Interviews with Taliban ministers reinforce the notion of brutality of this fundamentalist regime. Their savagery is illustrated by violent scenes: a woman is shot, a man has his throat cut, another is hung in full few of thousands of people in a stadium. The reportage also takes us into a religious school, a “madrassa” in Peshawar, Pakistan. This school, directed by a mollah, friend and advisor to Ben Laden, has turned out 80% of the Taliban.
